About the Course

This course is designed to teach you the foundations in order to write simple programs in Python using the most common structures. No previous exposure to programming is needed. By the end of this course, you will understand the benefits of programming in IT roles; understand basic Python syntax; explore different code editors and developer environments; be able to write simple programs using Python; figure out how the building blocks of programming fit together; and combine all of this knowledge to solve a complex programming problem. We'll start off by diving into the basics of writing a computer program. Along the way, you’ll get hands-on experience with programming concepts through interactive exercises and real-world examples. You’ll quickly start to see how computers can perform a multitude of tasks — you just have to write code that tells them what to do....

I have seen itsy bitsy instructions on python courses in my college and online, but the way this course is taught on Coursera is absolutely amazing. They actually teach you how to think like a programmer by giving you a real time scenario and then going by it step by step. I'm ready to move to part 2/6 but I might just go over the first one again. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!

Great course overall; however, this truly is a crash course and a great review if you have some understanding of Python or another programming language.

Not a beginner-friendly course.

For true beginners, check Python for Everybody or Python 3 Specialization. If you finish the first two courses in either specialization, you'll have a good grasp of Python fundamentals.

I'm very much thankful to Google and Coursera community for providing me such a wonderful course.I was very much interested in taking a course on Python like this.And this Crash Course on Python have changed my perspective on the Python programming language because you have taught me in an interesting way.

Thank You once again for giving this wonderful opportunity...

A good amount of stretching and smooth pace of progressing. I love how the instructor talks and how the course composer thinks in a non-CS background woman's shoes. The examples and practices given are a good combination of being intuitive and abstract. This course makes me feel motivated and confident to go on my coding journey. Best course ever for me on Coursera.

I wanted to quickly refresh my python basics and this course was perfect for that. I was able to complete it within 1 week. I'm happy that I was able to get a good understanding about OOP on week5. The final project was also really good. Because it incorporated a lot of things that I've already learnt in this course. Other assignments were also really interesting.

I had no programming experience when I first started this course. I honestly thought I was setting myself up for failure and I wouldn't be able to grasp the material. That was not the case at all, I love how informative and hands on the course is. I really do appreciate the Discussion Forums as well since you will get responses from mentors which is very helpful.

Fun stuff! Interesting yet familiar introduction, especially to those who have some coding experience in another language. The instructors were fun and i looked forward to logging in and learning more. Concepts were challenging at times but a relief in the end to see how I can use Python to do things that I have to make other languages jump hoops to do. Right on!

really impressive course, beginner friendly

and since it contain so many exercise and in video questions it is really helpful for critical thinking

since python is all about application of language, thus the module exercise are a really great for practicing and learning how to apply the various concepts.

A very big thanks to google for a such a wonderful course.

The course does what it sets out to do - delivers a crash course on Python. This is done by building up knowledge and skills that are fundamental to programming in Python. The videos are engaging and the tasks are challenging at the right level. I've learned a lot over a short time and I am confident I could handle some basic Python tasks in the real world.

Definitely Go for this course if you have some basic knowledge about Programming languages and

It would be very joyful if you know the concepts of Object-Oriented Programming.

Projects and quizzes are very well designed for the course. The Instructor is also very good in making things clear. And of course, GOOGLE is organising this course so what else you need.

A great introduction to Python. Do expect to use (a minimum) 4-6 hours per module/week, especially if you got no prior coding experience. To get the most value from the course, be sure to understand the concepts and methods taught and not just aim to pass the weekly review. Read the instructions carefully and check the forum if stuck and you will be okay :-)

I love all the exercises in this course which help me to get familiar with coding and thinking. Most of the exericses are a bit out of your comfort zone and usually takes a day or two to get through it.

Because of the exercises, I code/think almost everyday for three weeks and coding becomes more natural for me now. I am so thankful for this course structure.

The course is very well curated. With in-video exercises, graded assessments, cheat sheets, and discussion forums, there is no change any concept is left unlearned to the core. I would recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn python in a short span of time and kick-start their Python Career. Kudos to Margarita Manterola for this amazing course!!!

The course is nicely designed for all type of learners (domain or non-domain). The best part of the course is asking questions in the middle of the video for learners to be more attentive. The assignments (graded and non-graded) are beautifully designed to improve and focus on smaller codes to think and analyze logically. Overall its a very great experience.

The most wonderful and the best project oriented course I have ever got to learn, had a great time. Even tough I knew concepts before getting to this course but the assignments will really teach to think you more and more about it and really great to invest your time into this course not just because it is offered by Google but it is really worth to watch it

I am thoroughly enjoying the course. The explanations provided are clear and concise, and the tasks assigned are exciting. I am especially grateful for the detailed comments provided in the practice tasks.

I feel like I need more practice. It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide me with additional tasks as a student. Thank you for your kindness.

The course was soo awesome before starting the course i already know some basics of python so it was little easy for me but i have to say the course was worth it especially the assignment and more specially the final project there are still some problems with final project but finally i have completed .

Thank you google for this course

I really enjoyed this course, I guess these videos are perfect for some one who just stepped into this IT thing, host is interactive, assignments are good and projects are fun and challenging. I will recommend to every new comer to enrol and become part of this journey, but If you are someone who's not new to programming you may find this course bit easy.

I struggled a lot by the way the course is designed it kept encouraging me to try again by understanding deeper meaning and correlation of each programming line, extra tabs etc errors which gave me clue how t ofix. I am still stressed and worried but I am sure with little love for this coursde will help me get to my goal of understanding Python better.

This course is a great course for beginners and people who have a grasp of code concept. I feel like it is a great gap between "I think I know whats going on" to "I definitely know what this says". This course has some difficult questions but with some back-tracking and note-taking, you will master these basic concepts quicker than the course length is!

Very good initial Python course. Even if you have some Python knowledge, as did I, it is not only a very good refresher but a way to learn to put it to good use. Instead of learning the syntax of the language reading a book, learn by example. Exercises are actually very helpful, many of them have real life application, with some modifications of course.
